Florida’s Hardest Hit Regions Begin Recovery

Florida Gov. Rick Scott surveyed the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Irma on Monday, which included the Florida Keys, Marco Island and Jacksonville. Irma’s eyewall passed directly over the Florida Keys and Marco Island (located just south of Naples). Meanwhile Jacksonville struggled with historic flooding.

On Monday (Sept. 11), CBS Miami reporter David Sutta described the Florida Keys as a “war zone.” And another emergency responder referred to the scene in the Florida Keys as a possible “humanitarian crisis.” The Florida Keys is temporarily closed to visitors following Hurricane Irma while the region starts to rebuild.
